Welcome to The Cave of Dragonflies forums, where the smallest bugs live alongside the strongest dragons.

Guests are not able to post messages or even read certain areas of the forums. Now, that's boring, don't you think? Registration, on the other hand, is simple, completely free of charge, and does not require you to give out any personal information at all. As soon as you register, you can take part in some of the happy fun things at the forums such as posting messages, voting in polls, sending private messages to people and being told that this is where we drink tea and eat cod.

Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?

Noticing his partner's shaky legs and low groans of pain, Meme-ikyu faced away from their opponents for a moment and focused his energy on Dramabase. Closing his eyes, Meme-ikyu reached out, both with a tiny paw and a tendril of ghostly power. Upon contact, both Pokemon shivered; Dramabase could feel the bright warmth of Meme-ikyu's steady force and was hopeful for relief, and Meme-ikyu shuddered as he realized just how damaged Dramabase was. The little ghost Pokemon didn't hesitate, though, and shared as much of his life force with his friend as he could. Some would say it was too much, for when Meme-ikyu broke away, he staggered into an exhausted slump. On the other hand, Dramabase, refreshed and confident, stamped his feet and ROARED! All of the frustration of his previous flinch, mixed with his new-found vigor, gave his feet a surge of power as he collided with Tybalt, kicking the poor fire kitten into the pavement.

Tybalt growled as best he could, but in all honesty, he wanted sleep more than he wanted to battle. Watching Meme-ikyu wobble and seeing Pierre, weak but determined, beside him, Tybalt curled up on the warm pavement (as un-broken of a piece as he could find) and tried to shut his eyes for sleep. He shifted around to get comfortable - his legs still spasmed and ached - and flipped over a few times, but the painful tingle of paralysis kept him up and he reluctantly opened his eyes. Meanwhile, Pierre had no troubles sitting down and closing his eyes! With a jealous flick of his tail, Tybalt hissed at him.

Meme-ikyu's vision wavered as he tried to stand. This was a perfect opportunity to strike! Dramabase was looking at him and the dragon Pokemon appeared to be saying something to him; there was a distant roar from somewhere that seemed to be his name, and there were dark clouds gathering at the corners of his vision (a thunderstorm! A Thunder would be perfect!)... Meme-ikyu tried to give a battle cry along with his Thunder, but unbiddenly his knees gave out from under him, and he collapsed to the ground with an exhausted sigh.

Dramabase's low keening of grief could be heard as Meme-ikyu was recalled. Tybalt switched the tip of his tail back and forth, eyes on Dramabase, and Pierre slumbered.

Technically Pain Split's database stuff says its costs energy based on health healed - in this case, Meme-ikyu didn't heal himself, but it cost the amount of energy that Dramabase was healed, because otherwise that would be a crazy loophole for that move.

Per this post, I gave Stomping Tantrum the boost on action 1 because Dramabase flinched on the last action - to me, that counts as a failed attack. (I wouldn't have counted something like attraction or sleep because the Pokemon wouldn't have been aware that they missed an attack, but they would be aware of a flinch and that they failed to move.)

Tybalt was fully paralyzed on action 1. (again, poor guy)

Pierre successfully moved on action 1, and Rest cured his paralysis, so his speed is back up to base speed.

Meme-ikyu's attempt to use Thunder knocked him out on action 2 due to energy.

As previously discussed, when Meme-ikyu fainted, the round ended and no one else took their action. I'm not counting that action for anyone else, since they didn't get a chance to move. Pierre will finished resting/healing in the next round.

I removed the "Round Total" section of my post because it was basically just a crutch for me while I was getting used to reffing, and I don't feel I need it anymore. All the calculations are still there - that was just an extra summary section.

Okay, Tybalt! For the first action, try to Rest again. If you can't do that for some reason besides paralysis, take some Revenge on Dramabase.

On the second action: if you successfully used Rest on the previous action, Chill out. If you didn't successfully use Rest on the previous action, and there's nothing that would prevent you from using Rest besides your paralysis, try Resting again. If you're awake and you don't think you can successfully use Rest, use Revenge.

On the third action: if you're asleep, use Chill. If you're awake, you haven't already used Rest, and you think you can use it, try to do that. If you're awake and you don't think you can Rest, or if you're awake and you've already used Rest, target Dramabase with a Leech Life for energy.

The sunlight glinted off of Pierre's scales as he slept, thoughts drifting idly but without any sound coming from his mouth. Tybalt smacked a paw against the pavement, yearning to stretch his own limbs in sleep. Just as he spotted a comfy-looking spot, Dramabase opened up his jaws and loosed a wild caterwaul of sound - singing and screaming and laughing and, yes, even a little bit of rapping. (He wasn't half-bad, either.) The sound ricocheted off of buildings and pavement and smote sleeping Pierre straight between the eyes; he woke with a startled cry and, too late, pressed his hands to his ears in a desperate attempt to ease the onslaught. With a great snarl of agitation, Tybalt flung himself at Dramabase and raked claws across the dragon's tough hide. Without any fresh wounds for Tybalt, though, his claws didn't sink very deep.

Pierre's next move, however, ground ice into the open wounds on poor Dramabase's back. Brilliant icicles arced through the air and shattered with a great cacophony of ice shards and noise, leading straight into Dramabase's next crazed sing/scream/rap. This time Tybalt was the one to be smacked away by the sound, and the little cat desperately shook his head, trying to clear the wild ringing in his ears. The fire kitten's claws flashed again and even the ref gasped at the violence of the attack. Dramabase broke away, shuddering and laughing and sobbing.

Pierre, a little ornery at being woken up early, followed with another flurry of ice shards at the dragon, who again screamed at the unnecessary onslaught. Tybalt darted in again with teeth bared wide, pricking just the very surface of the Drampa's skin, and sucking the energy straight out of the dragon. The Litten pranced away with dark eyes, and Dramabase's knees hardly held him above the pavement.

The field was deathly silent; onlookers held their breath and birds had ceased chirping. The sun baked down onto everyone's backs.
